2017 The Long Tail - Memorable Books on DorothyL

Of the 1349 titles listed as memorable reads, 988 (73%) were unique, meaning that 27% of the book titles submitted were also submitted by someone else. This a similar percentage to last year, proving that most of us read (and like) very different books, as the long tail suggests. Funny how we're all so interested in recommendations from other DLers!

I've analysed how many times a book title was cited (by quantity). In the table below, the first column is the quantity of cites a given book received, the second column is the number of times that quantity was cited, e.g. Glass Houses by Louise Penny had 17 citations as a memorable book and a book with 17 citations occurred only once on the list versus 813 times a memorable book was cited once.
